Best Baldur’s Gate 3 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Baldur’s Gate 3 runs at roughly 73 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 73FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 73 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 177 FPS at 1080p and 130 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 73 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Baldur’s Gate 3, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Baldur’s Gate 3: Act 3 is very CPU-heavy; expect a CPU bottleneck in the city.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Baldur’s Gate 3 supports DLSS and FSR. A strong GPU-side boost — though Act 3’s Lower City is CPU-limited regardless.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow detail and range. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Dynamic CrowdsHighbaseline
Number of NPCs in towns — your biggest CPU lever in the busy Act 3 city.
Detail DistanceHighbaseline
How far full-detail geometry renders. Lowering causes mild pop-in.
Cloud QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric clouds. Moderately heavy and rarely the focus of attention.
Fog QualityHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog detail. A small, low-risk saving.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Cheap; leave On unless chasing frames.
Model QualityHighbaseline
Character and object geometry detail. High in cutscene-heavy scenes; Medium for frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM — keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Texture FilteringHighbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces sharp — effectively free, leave it High.
Instance DistanceHighbaseline
How far props and small objects render before fading. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-Aliasing (TAA)Onbaseline
Cleans up shimmer and jagged edges. Cheap; leave it On.
God RaysOnbaseline
Light shafts through clouds and windows. A small, low-risk saving.
Subsurface ScatteringOnbaseline
Soft light through skin and ears in close-ups. Cheap; nice in cutscenes.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Background blur in dialogue scenes. Cheap; set to taste.
